Wiring controller ports to each seat was a nice touch.

So instead of writing "free candy" on the side, he can write "free Mario Party."

Transmission issues....!!

MAH VTEC is too late.

Odyssey doesn't roar until 4.5k rpms. Redline and shift is 6k. And that's holding the gas pedal on the floor.

It's all just a scam to boost horsepower numbers, but unusable in real life. Wife doesn't like "wasting gas" so mah VTEC gets used but rarely.

Sooooo   Impreza is in the shop. It will ride on a trailer to NY next month. Got tires/ brakes done on Odyssey recently.

Legacy is probably going to be sold for $1k to classmate. KBB is $988-1300. I'll probably even drive it to Maryland for her too, since I'm going to visit my kids and coming back with wife Dec 18-20.  (Classmate is moving there.)

Only unknown is the emissions test. Should be straight, no CEL since I replaced engine 2012. Cat and muffler system all seems intact.

When I got married June 2014. She bought it new.

June 2008, I paid $2500 for it.

The blue on that new BRZ is hawt!

I'm waiting at Subaru....

[AutobahnSHO]

Free car washes at the dealership are spoiling. I could almost want to suffer the depreciation hit. Some people are here at the dealer just for that lol. (I'm getting "complimentary winter check".

The hyper blue? I saw an STI in that color. Can't say I'm a fan.

Not my favorite color but probably stands out on the road. Lol at the two different people looking for the BRZturbo....

It doesn't exist

Hyper blue looks great on the crosstrek

[MexicoCityM3]

Blew a rear tire on the M5 a few days ago by falling into an uncovered drain (I think). The tire was destroyed but rim held. Decided on getting a new set of tires that i was already thinking about. When I got the car it was on a pair of Hankooks up front and BF Goodrich rears. They still had some life left, especially the rears so I kept it that way.

I bit the bullet and got these:



Pilot Super Sports like I have on the other cars.

I just picked up the car after mount/balance/align and it feels fantastic. Note to self: do not be skimpy on tires again.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Those look like reasonable tires. Why the tread blocks? Can't you run slicks on the streets in Mexico?
